Lemon Drizzle Cake (with mashed potato!)
From mountainbaby:
Super-scrummy and loved by all the friends and family I've made it for!
I like the version with Polenta, rather than almonds, and I added a touch more baking powder.
Also, in the spirit of not wanting to waste, I made double the amount of drizzle.
Keeps beautifully moist in or out of the fridge.

Including cooking potato Gluten-free, Nut-free
Ingredients:
200g butter , softened (Using Pure / Pura for dairy-free worked well)
200g golden caster sugar
4 eggs
175g ground almonds (to make it nut free see below)
250g mashed potatoes
zest 3 lemons
2 tsp gluten-free baking powder (Supercook does one)

4 tbsp granulated sugar
juice 1 lemon

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line a deep, 20cm round cake tin. Beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, then gradually add the egg, beating after each addition. Fold in the almonds, cold mashed potato, lemon zest and baking powder.

To Make it nut-free
If you'd like to make this nut-free, as well as wheat-free, switch the ground almonds for polenta or wheat-free flour.
Potato ricer
If you have one, use a potato ricer to mash your potatoes; it will give a fantastically light and fine texture.
Or, if you're really lazy like me, nuke your potatoes in the microwave, then scoop the insides into a bowl and, voila - mashed potato!
